Great idea on the thread, Stacy!!I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I didn't like this year, but has anyone read Angry Housewives eating Bon Bons? My friend said her mom read it and liked it, but I've been reading reviews and it hasn't done very well...maybe it was written for an older generation? I've tried a few times to read it and haven't been sucked in yet. I'm going to try again soon and see if I like it. Just wondering if anyone has read it. :)
I reserve 1-star ratings for book that I set aside & don't finish. It takes a lot for me to actually give up on a story. Fortunately this year, I haven't done that. But I did have a 2-star read this year.....The Twelve Tribes of Hattie.....I just didn't get into it. It seemed like a collection of short stories more than a novel. My lowest rating of the year.
Don't worry, I am having the same problem! Ugh! I was so excited for this book too. Stacy wrote: "I'm starting a new thread for those of us that want to warn everyone else away from books that aren't so great..... And also, I think it's safe to say that there will be spoilers for each book, so ..."

I actually read that a LONG time ago, like close to 10 years ago. Can't really remember much from it. But I gave it 4 stars, so I must've liked it.....either that or when I rated it, it had been so long since I'd read it so I wasn't sure and gave it 4 stars to be nice. LOL
Mod
I used to do that, but since I didn't finish the book, I didn't feel like I should've been able to mark it as read. GR needs to add that as an option - Tried to Read, But Couldn't. LOL
I'll steer clear of Hattie. Thanks!

Exactly! I loved the first two. I'm not understanding why I don't like this one. Makes me sad.

Haha! That's funny. I guess I'll try to read it next then...
One Day by David Nichols, I did not enjoy this book at all.

I've never read anything by him, what genre does he write?

I think he is chick lit.

Oh, ok. I'll have to check him out. Have you read anything else by him that you did like?
Stacy,No, I haven't read anything else by him. I did see the movie One Day.

I actually was really trying to enjoy this book but i notice when it takes me over 2 months to finish it probably didn't really like it all that much. Good thing it was free lol

First one - has anyone else read Mad About the Boy by Helen Fielding? I am having the worst time trying to get through this book! I wanted to love it as I loved the previous two Bridget Jones books, but.....I don't know what's happened. Is it becuase Bridget is a single mom in her 50s? Really shouldn't be too hard for me to relate to other than the age difference, but that usually doesn't matter. All the same players are still there - Tom, Jeremy & Magda, Una & Bridget's mother (though, the husbands have passed), Jude....although Shazzer is missing and that hasn't really been explained. Or maybe I just forgot. Even perverted Daniel Cleaver is still present. Mark being gone is a huge hole, but that's the reason for the story I guess. I don't know though, just not digging it really, at all.
